Thin-layer chromatography is a powerful tool in the analysis of lipids. It is easy to perform, versatile, and relatively cheap, and it allows for direct quantitative measurements of the separated compounds by means of scanning densitometry. An important feature is that the analyst gets a full picture of the examined sample. 

Lipid analysts have often been skeptical about the possibilities for quantification offered by densitometry. 

Lipid analysts have often been skeptical about the possibilities for quantification offered by densitometry, their opinions generally being formed by earlier experience when the instrumentation was quite primitive. Today, however, the situation is greatly changed and laboratories whose staff are well trained in silver ion TLC methods can successfully apply densitometry. It can be claimed that the overall procedure is cheaper and more suitable for routine analysis of large numbers of samples compared to any alternative technique, while providing results of the same range of accuracy and reproducibility.
